(david lee murphy)

The lake at night is still and black
The waters smooth like polished glass
Youve heard the tales so its time to go
Gonna take you back into pirates cove

Got a sure ol horse evinrude
And a 12 foot jon boat to carry the brew
A couple of steaks and a big ol knife
My old ghost is comin back to life

You could say I know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
Theres one way in and thats by boat
Thatll get you back into pirates cove

A trail of smoke curls though the trees
Fire down low and there aint no breeze
Just the cottonmouths and the copperheads
And for some strange reason I fit in

You could say I know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
Theres one way in and thats by boat
Thatll get you back into pirates cove

Well its a different world when you get back here
The dancin shadows disappear
The memories theyll come and go
Someday Ill stay in pirates cove

You could say I know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
Theres one way in and thats by boat
Thatll get you back into pirates cove

You could say I know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
Theres one way in and thats by boat
Thatll get you back into pirates cove
